Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

Teach a man to fish, and he’ll sit in a boat all day drinking beer.

rich, arrogant assholes who equate luck with genius

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Putting aside our relentless self-interest because the moral imperative is crystal clear.

Good lord, these people are nuts.

Red lights blinking on democracy’s dashboard

The lights are all blinking red.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

It’s easier to kill a dangerous animal than a man who just happens to have different thoughts/values than one’s own.

When we show up, we win.

Nikki Haley, who can’t acknowledge ‘slavery’, is a pathetic shill.

‘Museums aren’t America’s attic for its racist shit.’

if you can’t see it, then you are useless in the fight to stop it.

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

Motto for the House: Flip 5 and lose none.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. don’t touch it.”

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

The arc of the moral universe doesn’t bend itself. it’s up to us.

I’m pretty sure there’s only one Jack Smith.

The gop couldn’t organize an orgy in a whorehouse with a fist full of 50s.

The worst democrat is better than the best republican.

Dumbest Persyn On the InterTrons

by John Cole|  August 8, 20057:45 pm| 29 Comments

This post is in: General Stupidity

Amanda Marcotte. Read my original post. Read the moronic response. And I mean moronic in the most gender neutral manner possible. That, folks, is what it looks like when you take the short yellow bus to your Womyn’s Studies classes. A.) I never advocated the study was accurate. Lindsay Beyerstein claims it is. B.) I …

Composition #2, Cole and pets

by RSA|  October 3, 20158:09 am| 72 Comments

This post is in: Excellent Links, Blogospheric Navel-Gazing

Here you go. Many but not all of John Cole’s greatest hits. I haven’t included some links, for different reasons: there were too many posts to choose from on a given topic (on Schiavo, or on alcoholism, for example); I wasn’t sure exactly which post a comment referred to; or I simply couldn’t track something …

Is here. *** Update *** I see the dumbest person on the intertrons has referred to me as a whiny conservative for, well, I guess having the audacity to link to Jeff. Question: If Amanda Marcotte trips on her penis while walking in the woods, when her head hits the ground, would it sound like …

Jesse Jackson Speaks

by John Cole|  September 3, 20054:21 pm| 86 Comments

This post is in: General Stupidity, Outrage

On CNN, Jesse Jackson about the response to the flood/hurricane: “There is a feeling that the last few days without food and water was like being in the hull of a slave ship.” I’ll start the discussion. F—K YOU, JESSE. Also, the dumbest person on the intertrons has some related thoughts that Jeff and Ace …

Another Study That Will Piss Everyone Off

by John Cole|  August 26, 20051:33 pm| 59 Comments

This post is in: Science & Technology

This is going to be another one of these studies that everyone argues about because they simply do/don’t like the results: Academics in the UK claim their research shows that men are more intelligent than women. A study to be published later this year in the British Journal of Psychology says that men are on …
